Don't Play This When You Just Got Dumped: If You Leave Me Now By Chicago


A remember a scene from the movie 'Shaun Of The Dead" after his girlfriend Liz dumped him after botching up their dinner plans.  He retreated to the Winchester Pub with his pal Ed and was crying over the break-up.  Ed tried to cheer him up by playing a song on the jukebox.  But once it played, it only Shaun more sad.  The song that Ed play was "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago.

I really like this song because it was one of the songs of Chicago I listened to when I was a kid.  However, for obvious reasons, it;s NOT the appropriate song for a person had just broken up with his or her love one.  Hearing this after breaking up will definitely make you feel a heck of a lot worse.  The last thing you need is more salt on a fresh wound.  That's definitely adding insult to injury.

Well, it's getting late and Valentine's Day is almost at an end.  Still, like Christmas (and I really bad one) people will probably still think of romance till the end of the month.  Sadly, I'm not surprised if somebody out there just got dumped.  For those who know people who are going through that, do your best to cheer them up.  Just don't play this song while they're still grieving cause it'll definitely make them feel worse even if it is a great song.
